* [[FlightGear Scenery Designer]] ([http://fgsd.sourceforge.net/ Project Site]) is an open source interactive program that allow its user to design custom sceneries for the FlightGear flight simulator project.

* [[TerraGear]] ([http://www.terragear.org TerraGear]) is a collection of open source tools and rendering libraries which can transform publically available GIS data in 3d representations (i.e. 3d models or 3d maps) of the earth for use in real time rendering projects. TerraGear can import 3d data sets such as DEM terrain grids, 2d polygon data sets such as coastlines, city outlines, lake outlines, and 2d raster data sets such as the 1km NAOO land use/land cover data. It also has tools for generating realistic airports, runways, and lighting based on available FAA data.  <br/>  See [[Building Terragear]] for a walkthrough on obtaining a working copy of the TerraGear tools, and [[Using Terragear]] for an outline of the scenery building process.
